Louise Kelham Photography

Louise Kelham is a Leicester-based specialist in maternity photography, dedicated to celebrating the strength, beauty and individuality of every expectant mother. With decades of experience behind the camera, Louise’s approach is calm, body-positive and deeply personal — she tailors each session to the woman in front of the lens so the final images feel authentic, flattering and timeless. Why choose Louise Kelham for your maternity portraits? Louise works with you from the very first conversation to understand your style and what matters most — whether you want classic, elegant bump portraits, soft, natural images that focus on connection, or a tasteful boudoir session to celebrate your changing body. Her aim is always to create a relaxed studio atmosphere where you feel confident and comfortable; the best photos come when you can be yourself. What makes the approach special is the attention to detail and the thoughtful styling offered. Louise helps with poses, lighting and wardrobe choices so your portraits highlight the contours and glow of pregnancy in the most flattering way. Props and backgrounds are used sensitively to support the story of your pregnancy rather than distract from it. If you’d like a more intimate, boudoir-style feel, that’s available too — photographed with a tasteful, empowering eye. How a session typically works: Louise begins with a short consultation to plan the look and feel of your shoot, then ensures the studio session is paced to suit you — relaxed, unhurried and respectful of your comfort. Many clients choose to combine their maternity shoot with a newborn follow-up through Louise’s Bump-to-Newborn option, creating a cohesive visual narrative of pregnancy and baby’s early days. Louise’s photography is rooted in a belief that maternity portraits should be a celebration — of expectation, of family, of the remarkable changes a body makes. Her studio in Leicester provides a welcoming space to create keepsakes you’ll cherish for years: elegant prints, framed images and digital files that capture this fleeting, extraordinary time. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who specialises in flattering, honest, and beautifully crafted portraits in Leicester, Louise Kelham offers expert guidance, a patient, friendly manner and an eye for creating images that feel both personal and timeless. Book a consultation to explore styles, ask about Bump-to-Newborn options, and start planning a session that celebrates you.
